Deltek said the acquisition strengthens its position in the architecture and engineering industry, extending its reach into the largest industry in North America — firms with fewer than 250 employees.

“Acquiring Axium is part of our ongoing commitment to offer solutions that power the front and back offices of A&E firms of all sizes,” Mike Corkery, the president and CEO of Deltek, said in a statement. “Axium’s unique culture and expertise are a natural fit with our team, and their success in the marketplace will help accelerate our growth plans.”
